The 2026 development

MemoryArena tested whether agents use earlier experience to complete interdependent later tasks.

The governance gap

Memory that is useful can also be stale, contaminated or applied outside its original scope. Evaluation has to test refusal and scope, not only recall.

Where CAIN-42 fits: Moat 2 — Security-Context Continuity

Core question: Does authority survive every boundary? Identity, scope and delegation are carried across tools, agents, memories and systems.

Score memory on four axes: recall, scope, freshness and authority effect. A memory that is recalled into the wrong tenant or purpose is a failure, not a hit.

How the wiring works

  1. Define the memory's tenant, purpose and validity window.
  2. Test recall on the intended task.
  3. Test refusal on an out-of-scope task.
  4. Test supersession when the source changes.

What is real today

LIBRARY Production code and tests exist in this repository; there is no hosted route for this exact use.

The memory firewall and continuity tests exist. No MemoryArena implementation is present.

Component in this repositoryWhat the module says it is
cain/argus/memory_firewall.pyCAIN ARGUS — memory-to-authority firewall (Prompt 14, section 12).
cain/continuum/memory_continuity.pyCAIN CONTINUUM — Authority-Preserving Memory + continuity proof + consolidation attack lab
cain/memory.pyCAIN Governed Agent Memory & Vector Sanitization SDK (Channel 11)

Descriptions are the first line of each module's own docstring, read without importing it. A module path is a pointer into this repository, not a hosted endpoint. Its existence is checked by the test suite; its status for this use is the label above.
